Clos Mansio’s parcels in the Blaye right bank sit on clay and limestone with occasional gravelly pockets—soil that brings both rounded Merlot ripeness and mineral detail. Merlot-dominant blend (often with small Cabernet/Malbec components typical of Blaye). The vintage of 2006 Bordeaux produced structured, balanced wines with good mid-term evolution. This Clos Mansio shows ripe plum and black cherry, cedar and savoury tertiary notes from bottle age, and moderate tannic grip with clean acidity; medium to full-bodied and food-friendly.
These older Blaye vintages only appear sporadically on the market.
